The serial physical interface defined in CEA-2017 is the serial RX and TX lines of a CEA-2017 devi

18、ce. The serial protocol is intended to be used within the framework of the serial physical interface (the RX and TX serial data signals) defined in CEA-2017. A CEA-2017 device communicating over the CEA-2017 defined serial link transmits or receives data over this physical interface in the format de

19、scribed in CEA-2017, which is as follows. The serial data signal shall have the following characteristics: 1. Four baud rates (9600, 19,200, 57,600 and 115,200 bps) 2. 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit 3. PEDEV shall auto detect the baud rate based on a synchronization byte (AB hex) sent from the

20、 HDEV 4. No flow control 5. When the PEDEV recognizes the baud rate it shall respond at the same baud rate with an acknowledgement (54 hex, which is the complement of the AB hex synchronization byte) 6. During synchronization the HDEV must send the synchronization byte ABh until it gets an acknowled

21、gement byte 54h from the PEDEV or tSync time has elapsed. There is no concept of a control channel, streaming data channel, or packet data channel in the serial protocol. The CEA-2017 serial link is not intended for data streaming which needs high bandwidth, and does not support multimedia data tran

22、sfer, such as audio or video files. The CEA-2017 serial link is intended for command and control of a PEDEV which requires low bandwidth and short packet length commands. It may also support transport of small graphics art, such as logos, and album art, or small picture formats from the PEDEV. 3.1 S

25、gure 1: Framework of CEA-2017 Device The highest part of the frame work may be a HMI. The HMI is completely a custom architecture whos layering and structure will not depend on this serial protocols standard. The HMI allows a user interface which initiates the serial protocol. The next layer is the

26、serial protocols standard function blocks. The serial protocol functions for a PEDEV/HDEV are grouped together in function blocks. In addition to the function blocks which represent applications, each serial protocol implementation must have a special function block called the NetBlock. The NetBlock

27、 provides functions related to the entire device. Interaction with a function block requires two partners which are referred to as the “PEDEV” and the “HDEV”. The command operational types of the function reside in the HDEV and the report operational types of the function reside in the PEDEV. The HD

28、EV sends commands to a PEDEV and in return receives reports or status from the PEDEV. A PEDEV must be associated with only one HDEV, and vice versa. The serial protocol defined in this standard only supports point to point communication typically between a HDEV and PEDEV. 3.2 Serial Protocol Logical

29、 Structure This section gives a description of the logical structure of the serial protocol. In order to distinguish between the different function blocks and functions of a PEDEV or HDEV, each function and function block has an identifier. FBlockID.FktID CEA-2017.1 6 3.2.1 Function Blocks FBlockID

30、identifies a function block. A function block is a group of functions for a device. A single device may have multiple components and therefore multiple function blocks. FBlockID consists of 8 bits, and has a limit of 255 maximum number of function blocks. 3.2.2 Functions FktID identifies a specific

31、function within a device that can be called via the serial protocol. FktID consists of 12 bits, but each function block has a limit of 508 maximum number of functions. The range of FktIDs is subdivided into groups that have specific purposes. The subdivision of FktIDs is as follows: General Function

32、s (000h9FFh) o General functions in an function block Player Specific Proprietary Functions (A00hFFEh) o Proprietary functions that the portable electronic device manufacturer may use Accessory Specific Proprietary Functions (A00hFFEh) o Proprietary functions that the portable electronic device acce

33、ssory manufacturer may use Proprietary/Supplier Specific (F00hFFEh) o Functions that may be used by suppliers for any proprietary purpose. Supplier specific functions are not reported in FBlockID.FktIDs.Status. If a supplier specific property supports notification, notification of this property is n

34、ot affected by the FBlockID.Notification.Set (SetAll) command. If a supplier specific property supports notification, notification of this property is cleared by the FBlockID.Notification.Set (ClearAll) command. 3.2.3 Function Operations When accessing functions, certain operations are applied to th

35、e respective function which is either a property of the function block or a method it provides. The type of operation is specified by the OPType. The parameters of the operation follow the OPType, resulting in the following structure: FBlockID.FktID.OPType(Data) OPType identifies the operation that

36、shall be applied to the property or method specified in the FktID. A property is a segment of computer code that may be used to read and write data, and is frequently used to set or get method calls. A method is a segment of computer code that performs an action, and may include a set of input param

37、eters that customizes the action and an output value. The meaning of the OPType value is different depending on whether FktID is a property or a method. OPType consists of 4 bits, so each function may have up to 16 OPType values. The possible meanings for the various OPType values are listed in Tabl

39、rts: 9 Reserved ErrorAck A Not allowed ProcessingAck B Reserved Processing C Status Result D Not allowed ResultAck E Interface Interface F Error Error 3.2.3.1 Function Types A function is a defined attribute of a function block through which it communicates with the external world. Functions are sub

40、divided into three classes, “methods”, “properties”, and “events”. 3.2.3.2 Method Function Type Functions that can be started and which lead to a result after a certain period of time, are called “methods”. Methods can be used to control function blocks. In general, a method is triggered only once a

41、t a certain point of time, for example, starting the auto-scanning of a tuner. Methods can be defined without parameters or with certain parameters that specify their behavior. After the reception of a method called by a function block, the respective process must be started. If this is not possible

42、, the function block has to return the respective error message to the sender of the method call. This may happen if the addressed function block has no method of that kind, if a wrong parameter was found, or if the current status of the function block prevents execution of the method. After finishi

43、ng the process, the controlled function block should report execution to the HDEV. This report may contain results of the process. If a process runs for a long time, it may be useful to return intermediate results before finishing, such as informing the HDEV about the successful start of the process

44、. 3.2.3.3 Property Function Type Functions for determining or changing the status of a device, which refer to the current properties of a device are called “properties”. CEA-2017.1 8 Properties can be read (e.g., device name), written (e.g., device state), or read and written (e.g., current track).

45、For each property the allowed operations are specified. Within a function block, a property is normally represented by a variable that represents something such as a limit or a status. 3.2.3.4 Event Function Type Functions for notifying that an event has occurred are called “events” or “notification

46、s”. 3.2.4 Data Transport Data may be transported between the two devices. The length of the data field is specified by Length. The data of the operation follows the Length, resulting in the following structure: FBlockID.FktID.OPType.Length(Data) Length specifies the length of the data field in bytes

47、. It is encoded in 16 bits. Length = 0x0000 Data field of length 0 Length = 0x0001 Data field of length 1 byte Length = 0x03F9 Data field of length 1017 bytes 3.2.4.1 Data Transport Packet Format Sync o 1 Byte o HDEV = ABh o PEDEV = 54h FBlockID o 1 Byte FktID/OPType o 2 Bytes (FktID = 12 most signi

Add all bytes together excluding the synchronization byte 2. Drop all high bits leaving only the lowest 8 bits 3. Get the twos complement of

49、 the lowest 8 bits Step 3 provides the checksum byte. 3.2.5 Data Types In a data transmission on the serial link, the maximum data field length is 1017 bytes. CEA-2017.1 9 Within a data field, none, one, or multiple parameters in any combination of the following data types can be transported. They are transported MSB first. The sign is encoded in the most significant bit and 2s complement coding is used for signed values. There are the following basic data types: Boolean o 1 byte o Only one bit of the byte can be used Unsigned Byte o 1 byte
